Additionally, the convenience of booking various activities through the accommodation at a reasonable cost was a major plus. They took into account all our preferences and wishes.

Located on the coast of Kiwengwa, Zanbluu Beach Hotel offers ocean and garden views. The property offers an infinity pool with views of the ocean, as well as a pool bar. Some rooms have a private swimming pool. Zanbluu beach resort exceeded all our expectations during our 7-night stay! The room was nothing short of luxurious, with every detail meticulously attended to. Waking up to the breathtaking view of the ocean from our bed was like a dream come true. Our stay was a gastronomic journey with every meal presenting a delightful surprise. From tantalizing seafood dishes to local vegetarian delights, the culinary experience at Zanbluu surpassed all expectations.

The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. The staff were very welcoming, and the place was exceptionally clean. We loved everything about the place, and our host Deus was very helpful at whatever time just to ensure we were comfortable. Our room was bigger than imagined and was just as seen on booking.Breakfast was always fresh, yummy, and the different mix of fresh juice every morning was a perfect highlight of it. Would definitely recommend the place to anyone travelling to Kiwengwa.

With sea views, MONKEY MOUNTAIN LODGE is situated in Mtende and has a restaurant, luggage storage space, bar, garden and terrace. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge.

If you would like to discover the area, hiking, snorkelling and cycling are possible in the surroundings and MONKEY MOUNTAIN LODGE can arrange a car rental service. I have been to many accommodations in Zanzibar, but this one was truly the most special experience for me. The peace and positive vibes I experienced there brought back 5 years of my life. The house is in a wonderful location, surrounded by dense vegetation, so you will feel a healing peace there during your entire stay. The bungalows are spacious and perfectly clean, the beds are large and comfortable, the view is stunning. The food deserves a Michelin star, the offer is varied, the ingredients are fresh every day, the portions are very generous, certainly above the price. The owner and all the staff are very accommodating, kind and ready to dedicate themselves to each guest to make them feel at home. My special thanks go to the hostess Suzy , whose helpfulness and kindness go beyond the limit and who made our stay even more beautiful. If you are planning to visit Zanzibar, do not make the mistake of not visiting this special piece of paradise. Thank you all, even though we left, a piece of my heart remained there 💓
